Regulations
The Gas Safety Section has six inspectors who are located across the state and
who are on call 24 hours a day for emergencies. They check for compliance of the
Commission and federal gas pipeline safety regulations to insure compliance by the
gas operators.
These regulations are designed to assist operators in recognizing and preventing
problems before they become hazardous. In addition, each operator must have a damage
prevention program and an emergency response program. The damage prevention program
must include provisions to ensure compliance with the state's Underground Utility
Protect Act, better known as the One Call Act.
